Amazon rainforest adjusts to long-term experimental drought

Drought is a growing issue in tropical rainforests. Here, the authors revisit a long-term rainfall manipulation experiment in the Amazon to show that tree mortality was followed by community-level adjustments to reduced precipitation.

The distribution and drivers of tree cover in savannas and forests across India

In India, water stress regulates tree cover across biomes, and variation in cover is explained by soil sand fraction, topography, and anthropogenic pressure according to an analysis of remote sensing vegetation data and environmental drivers.
